I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!
I'm surrounded by very powerful women and very progressive men.
Women don't realize how powerful they are.
And if we have any evidence that the wisdom which formed the plan is in the man we have the very same evidence that the power which executed it is in him also.
We thought because we had power we had wisdom.
Every indication of wisdom taken from the effect is equally an indication of power to execute what wisdom planned.
But in its final creation it was not the part of the Father's power to fail as though exhausted. It was not the part of His wisdom to waver in a needful matter through poverty of counsel.
To suppose more than one supreme Source of infinite wisdom power and all perfections is to assert that there is no supreme Being in existence.
If God had sufficient wisdom and power to construct such a beautiful world as this then we must admit that his wisdom and power are immeasurably greater than that of man and hence he is qualified to reign as king.
I've always shied away from conventional wisdom though I know the power of it.
We learned in World War II that no single nation holds a monopoly on wisdom morality or right to power but that we must fight for the weak and promote democracy.
It may almost be a question whether such wisdom as many of us have in our mature years has not come from the dying out of the power of temptation rather than as the results of thought and resolution.
The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world.
Bush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties.
Until democracy in effective enthusiastic action fills the vacuum created by the power of modern inventions we may expect the fascists to increase in power after the war both in the United States and in the world.
However much we may sympathize with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbours we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in a war simply on her account.
The most disastrous phenomenon of the current situation is the factor that imperialism is employing for its own ends all the powers of the proletariat all of its institutions and weapons which its fighting vanguard has created for its war of liberation.
Black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war.
But do I think that our actions in anyway violate the War Powers Resolution the answer is no.
Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war anything to steer the discussion away from the real reasons the war in Iraq will not end anytime soon.
I'm someone who believes the truth needs to be heard. And if I'm empowered with the truth I'm not going to shut up.
There is nothing so powerful as truth and often nothing so strange.
Reclaiming the word 'fat' was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth because the truth is that I am fat and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat I agree whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.
The most powerful element in advertising is the truth.
New York had a big influence on me growing up and I was really part of the club scene - the Mudd Club and Studio 54. When you're living in New York you are just bombarded with style trying to figure out how to be cool and how to feel relaxed at the same time.
